Rangers missed the chance to move eight points clear of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table as they could only draw 0-0 at Livingston.

Celtic drew last weekend and haven’t been in action due to Boli Bolingoli breaking lockdown protocol, so Rangers had a chance to pile on the pressure.

Facing off against a Livingston side without Lyndon Dykes ahead of his move to Queens Park Rangers, the Gers will have expected a win – but they fell flat.

Rangers dominated possession, and even had 23 shots on goal, but only put three of them on target in a dour display.

Even introducing new strikers Cedric Itten and Kemar Roofe couldn’t unlock the Livingston defence, and Rangers had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Fans are unfortunately too familiar with this tale now; Rangers dominating possession against a relatively smaller side, but failing to make it count.

Fans did praise one player though, as winger Ryan Kent was the only player to ‘show desire’ according to supporters.

Some felt Kent was ‘very good’ and ‘our only spark’, believing that other players hould show the same fight as the ex-Liverpool man even if it doesn’t come off for him today.
